location
The Alte Frankfurter Straße runs through the town in a west-east direction . From here, in the eastern part of the district, the Briesener Straße branches off to the south. A few meters behind the intersection, the church stands east of this street on a slightly elevated site that is fenced in in the 21st century .
history
There are different views on the development of the sacred building . While the Dehio manual on the building as a new building "using remains of a medieval field stone blocks building characterized as" speaking congregation of a complete "reconstruction of the church, using the medieval granite blocks".
It is certain that Wilmersdorf had 54 hooves in 1405 , four of which were for the pastor . At that time there was already a church, which was equipped with a Pietà and two bells with a diameter of 50 and 59 cm after 1500 . They could have been a donation from Albrecht Thuem , who died in 1584. In his memory, an epitaph was placed on the west wall of the south porch. In 1604, the building received another bell, which Hans Zeidler from Fürstenwalde / Spree cast . In 1637 - and thus during the fighting of the Thirty Years' War - an 18 cm high goblet with paten was added; after 1650 a baptismal angel . The church patronage at that time lay with the von Rohr family . When Christian Ewald von Rohr died in 1693, he too was honored with an epitaph. His successor, Christian Ludwig von Rohr , donated an altarpiece in 1703 . His grave monument has also been in the church since his death in 1709. In 1875 the parish had to have the bell re-cast by Zeidler. The work was done by the bell foundry C. Voss and Son from Stettin , who created a work with a diameter of 73 cm. In the years 1880 to 1883, Finck von Finckenstein finally initiated the renovation or rebuilding of the church. The sacristy , an extension on the south side of the nave and the west tower were built . In 1969 the Sauer company installed an organ on the west gallery .
Building description
The apse was built on a base made of field stones from the previous building and reddish bricks , most of which are plastered . She has moved in and has a fifth . The corners as well as the base are emphasized by pilaster strips made of exposed brick, as is the eaves , which is decorated with a round arch frieze that opens downwards . On the east side there is a clogged, pointed arch-shaped panel , the walls of which were made from semicircular bricks and a beveled window sill. The arch was emphasized again by masonry stones. On the two south-east and north-east sides there is an equally large window that takes up the shape of the panel. To the south, there is a rectangular extension, in which there is another, ogival window to the east. In the north there is another extension at this point with a gate that can be entered from the east. The apse has a hipped roof , which - like the extensions - is covered with black slate.
At the transition to the nave there is initially a buttress on each side , which merges into a stepped gable with five ogival, stepped panels. The nave has a rectangular floor plan and was built entirely from field stones. These are neither carved nor layered. On the south side there is an extension made of brick, next to it on the left and right an ogival window. The remains of a vestment can be seen in the direction. There was probably an arched window here at an earlier time. There is one epitaph each on the western wall of the nave, on the western and eastern wall of the southern extension. On the north side is a comparable extension that allows access to a basement from the east . In place of the gate there is a window on the north side, as well as on the nave. No further clogged openings are visible there.
The west tower is square and strongly drawn in opposite the nave. At the transition there are two lancet windows on each side and a screen gable. The lower storey was built from field stones. Access is via a pointed arched portal, the reveal of which was again made from brick. Above it is a cornice followed by two more floors. There are three windows on each side and four sound arcades on the upper floor , which take up the shape of the windows on the nave. The surfaces are plastered, the corners emphasized with brick pilaster strips. A circular arched frieze that opens downwards creates the transition to the top floor. There is a four-sided gable end with a laterally arranged panel, which flank a circular opening with a window above. The spire is made of slate and ends with a tower ball and cross.
Furnishing

The furnishings include an altarpiece that was donated in 1703. It shows the Lord's Supper in the predella , while the crucifixion of Christ is shown in the main field . It is framed by two columns that are decorated with acanthus and a coat of arms on each side. On the left is the coat of arms of those von Rohr with the year 1703, on the right that of those von Gollnitz and the year 1706. On the pillars stand the Baroque framed figures Paul of Tarsus and Simon Peter , which are probably early Gothic and could therefore come from an earlier altar . Above it, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is depicted with a crowning sun. Fides and Caritas are shown on the essay . The pulpit dates from the second half of the 17th century. The four evangelists are depicted on the polygonal pulpit between fittings , above is a sound cover that is decorated with cartilage . A wooden baptismal angel was made in the first half of the 18th century.
_Anna_selbdritt.jpg)
The parish describes an art restored in 1995 as "unique" in Brandenburg , which Anna herself shows and which dates from the 14th century. The Dehio manual, however, complains that the figure is "disfigured" by the baroque painting. The liturgical objects include a silver-gilt chalice from the 17th century and a matching paten. The chalice is decorated with a stone on the base and bears the inscription ihesvs (Jesus) on the pommel and Maria on the stem .
A Sauer organ , which was purchased in 1969, stands on the west gallery. It is the Opus 1858 with an electric fan, four stops , a manual and a pedal .
Two epitaphs on the outer south side of the nave commemorate Albrecht Thuem , who died in 1584, as well as the pastor George Adolph Schindler (died 1728) and his wife, who died in 1723. To the north-west of the property there is a boulder, the inscription of which is weathered.
